Learning by Example is the Best way for many people to learn. I certainly learned the most out of the Total Diplomacy book from the Scenarios. That being said, I have taken it upon my self to list scenarios of Diplomacy. Table Talk is the term me and my risk loving friends use to describe a major politcal engagments that occur during a game. These often are a the major turning point that occurs right before the Major invasions, so it is Crucial that you turn these around into your favor.  I would encourage everyone to record any table Talk, whether it worked or not in your favor.

By the way, I love to play the Regular board game in person rather then over the internet, which is why my table talk example is more Drawn out and has more extensive vocabulary then online chat box table talks will allow. I encourage both, still however.
